What people have asked about this business.

Which training plan is more effective?

Both training plans are very effective; it all just depends on how involved in the training you would like to be. Private training you’re involved in the entire training process and day training we take care of most of the training process for you. Then at pick up we will show you what we have done.

Question on Google
What training methods do you use?

We are balanced trainers so we use all four quadrants of Operant Conditioning (positive reinforcement, positive punishment, negative reinforcement, and negative punishment.) and Classical Conditioning (a process that involves creating an association between a naturally existing stimulus and a previously neutral one). We start with the least invasive methods and only go more invasive as needed and with owner approval.

They were so kind and patient with our dog during his training. They took the time to show you what he learned for the day so you could work with your dog through the week! After the first week when our dog could see the snake river shelter building when we took him for his next day of training he was always so excited to get in there and see Makayla! Wylie will miss his days with her! Thank you for your help with our Wylie! Highly recommend!

Robert did fantastic with our Australian Shepherd! He really knows dogs, and was so great to work with. Also very reasonably priced. Highly recommend K9 Academy!

Robert was phenomenal and friendly with our human family and invited an immediate bond with our loved dog, Duchess. By the third visit she wagged her tail when he came in the room and was willing to bid us goodbye while flopping over on the floor asking for belly rubs from her trusted trainer, Robert. We were blessed to bring in our other dogs to simulate the situation we had concerns of at home. Robert was able to advise and coach each of us how to train a proper behavior and prevent further intimidating sceneries we had formerly experienced at home with dogs interacting. A real live training session to handle exactly what we needed help with. Such a blessing and valuable experience. Allison also helped us with training some structure for one of our small dogs to be respectful with some needed boundaries. We walked away from our 5 sessions better K9 owners, practice methods in place with props dogs knew from their training experience, and totally beyond satisfied with Robert and Allison’s K9 training help with our favorite dog pack. Really we could just turn ourselves over to Robert and Allison to train the humans… dogs seem pretty simple. Thank you Robert and Allison for blessing our fur family. A happy experience all around.

Our Shih tzu was a busy puppy, idaho K9 trained him to come, sit, lay down, and stay. They were so caring and loving to our little guy. He loved them. I would recommend idaho K9 to anyone who has a new puppy. They are the very best.
